John Wooden Quotes and Pyramid of Success – A retired basketball coach, John Wooden, made a connection between two different things, life and basketball, through his Pyramid of Success. His Pyramid of Success contains philosophical building blocks for winning a game of basketball, and of course, winning a game of life.
John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success said that there are 12 lessons in leadership. The summit of the pyramid is the success. And each of the blocks represents a trait that a person must possess in order to become successful in life.
“Success is a peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”
” There is no substitute for work. Worthwhile things come from hard work and careful planning.”
“When the going gets tough, the tough get going. Be at your best when your best is needed.”
“Resist temptation and stay with your course. Concentrate on your objective and be determined to reach your goal.”
“Your heart must be in your work. Stimulate others.”
John Wooden Quotes and his Pyramid of Success are now inspiring others’ lives.
